AIR Review: AI Tool for Education

KS1 & KS2 Writing Assessment Assistant

Meet AIR, your personal Writing Assessment assistant. It takes the hassle out of writing assessments so you can focus on teaching, not ticking boxes.

We know how it feels. We’ve experienced first-hand the time-consuming effort needed to mark Writing and create pupil feedback that positively impacts their learning outcomes. We’ve seen how the huge teacher workload problem impacts their well-being, morale, and pupil outcomes. Like you, we work in schools and with schools. We have over 100+ collective years working in Education, and we’ve reduced teacher workload in over 2000 schools in the UK over the last 20 years. How AIR works... Below is the Instant Writing Assessment Plan – a simple 3-step process to reduce teacher workload and improve pupil progress today: 1) Upload writing: capture photos of work directly from your phone, tablet, or computer. 2) Assess instantly: get assessment information and actionable feedback. 3) Improve outcomes: see your class’s strengths and areas for improvement at a glance. As a group of educationalists, we’ve seen first-hand how assessing writing can create excessive working hours. This impacts teacher well-being and pupil progress. We’ve worked with many teachers to ensure this 3-step process has the teacher and pupil at the core. The teachers in our research group have helped ensure that this process is simple and effective for you.

We've just started trialling this tool and are impressed with its speed and the detailed level of the feedback it can provide individual children, for the class and the cohort. We've been using it to help children make progress within a unit, as well as for summative assessment for year end.
